Original title: Solitaire stop working right after the update to download
This slowed the game. I checked the video card is correct, and hardware accelerator says it's working properly. This started after I downloaded two optional updates, one of them KB968930. I uninstalled both of them and tried to restore the system with no result. the rest of the message is "Hardware accelerator is disabled rooms or not supported by your video make sure card driver that you install the latest video card driver and the accelerator is turned on." I checked these things.
Thanks for the help. I had fixed to date through the tool and the info of the performance. Find where it says new hardware installed, click on repair, I did and it worked. I don't know what caused the problem, but my game index had fallen to 1 and came back up to 3.3. Thanks for the help. P. W. O'Malley

Make sure default DW for the XML files?
I don't know there is a way to do what I'm missing, but I would like to make DW my default app for XML files. I know how this can be done under Windows (using 'open with' and change the default value), but I'm on Mac OSX. I tried to play with the DW preferences file types section, but it didn't work. Someone knows how to fix this? Thank you.
In the Mac Finder, select an XML file and click on more info (or press command + I - it is I, not a lowercase L) to bring up an Info Panel. Expand the section that says open with and select Dreamweaver in the context menu (click on the other, if it is not). Then click the button change all to apply to all XML files.

Hello
I have a problem of Age of Empires 2 running on my new computer. Keeps displaying the following error message: "cannot initialize the graphics system. Make sure that your video card and driver are compatible with DirectDraw. "Someone at - it solutions to this? I have already visited many forums and trying different solutions; None of them helped.
Tried solutions: change the compatibility and as an administrator, switching to 16-bit color, turn off my graphics card, execution of the extension "nostartup" of the game, looking for old patches from Microsoft (which most are now unavailable due to the game being so old). I KNOW that others have been able to get this game to work on the Windows 7 operating system, but with a few other quirks and I KNOW my video card and driver are more than capable of handling this game. Any suggestions?

Operating system windows 7 home premium 32 bit
6 GB of memory
Graphics card ATI Radeon HD 4350

I had the above problem with AOEII:Age of the Kings. My brief spec is Windows 7 Ultimate edition (SP1) and a card nVidia 8600 GT. I did the following (make sure you reboot after each installation):
Make sure that you are running the latest patch of AOEII:AOK (2. 0 a):

Download and install the latest version of DirectX:

Download and install the latest nVidia Driver suite. I left the autodetect my card software and reset all my default settings. I also installed the full software suite:
http://www.nvidia.com/download/index.aspx?lang=en-us
Finally, right click on the shortcut of AOE and click Properties. Click on the Compatibility tab and select the following:
-Run this program in compatibility mode - choose Windows XP Service Pack 2 (!) NOT 3!)
-Disable visual themes
-Disable the Composition of the Bureau
-Run this program as an administratorOne of the above options maybe work on its own, but that's what I had to do to make it work and I tested it after each step.
Good luck!

When I try to backup Quicken, I received the error: cannot access the disk in the drive E:, please make sure that the drive is ready and the disk is not write protected. My last backup of Quicken was 16/07/2010. I don't know why I can't back up now. Is there a way to fix this?
Why not save to a folder on your hard drive and burn them to a CD - R from there?

... folder contains a compatible software driver... Make sure it is meant... x 64
He could not find in the forums. Also tried a google search.
I get this error when you try to install a monitor driver:
The specified folder contains a compatible software driver for your device. If the folder contains a driver, make sure that it is designed to work with Windows for x 64 systems.System: Windows Vista 64-bit-enabled/on the driver signing
Driver/device: Viewsonic VP2030 LCD monitor seriesWhy I need this driver: I think that the graphics card is difficult because he does not know my monitors refresh rate limits.
OK, I have downloaded the driver on the Viewsonic website (see here):
http://www.ViewSonic.com/support/downloads/drivers/?PROD_NAME=vp2030
I tried the second and the last of them.I also tried the driver from the catalog of Microsoft (see here):
http://catalog.update.Microsoft.com/v7/site/search.aspx?q=display%20viewsonic%20vp2030So none of them will not be installed. The installation method that I use is to go to "Add Hardware" and use the "floppy".
I have also check this page that talks about the inf being decorated and the driver being 64-bit.
Well, as you can see, it seems to be decorated properly:[Manufacturer]
ViewSonic % = ViewSonic, NTia64,NTamd64[ViewSonic.NTamd64]
% VP2030% = VP2030. Installation, Monitor\VSC131CSo, what can I do now?
I found a way to install... even if it's quite complicated (because all other methods would not work).
1. in the Device Manager, right-click on current monitor and select update
2 say that you have a disk
3. choose the folder/inf for the monitor.
4. Select and install. -
Hello world
I know, there are several other threads on this topic, but I couldn't find a working solution. I currently have no OS on my DELL XPS 17 L702X. When I try to install from a USB stick bootable Windows 7 Home Premium x 64 I get this error message: windows cannot be installed on this physical drive of this computer may not support the start-up this drive make sure that the drive controller is enabled in the computer's bios menu.I've tried wiping HARD drive and reformat with GParted. I don't really know what I could do.I would be very grateful if you could help meHello
I suggest that you contact the manufacturer of the computer to change the BIOS settings and check if it is has updated the BIOS.
Important: BIOS change / semiconductor (CMOS) to complementary metal oxide settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.
Let us know the results. We will be happy to help you further.

Usually, it is a result of the lack of specific driver of the seller then, how can I fix this problem so that I can play Battlefield 3 new...
Hi Anthany,
If you have a hardware device that does not properly with your computer, you probably need a driver updated. There are three ways to update a driver:
Use Windows Update. You will have to perhaps set Windows Update automatically download and install recommended updates.
Install the software from the manufacturer of the device. For example, if your device is equipped with a disk, this disk can contain software that installs a driver for the device.
Download and update the driver yourself. Use this method to install a driver that you download from the manufacturer's website. If Windows Update can't find a driver for your device and the device didn't come with software that installs a driver.
Step 1: Download and install the latest version of DirectX.

Step 2: Download and install the latest graphics driver and see if it works.

Think about it an absolute must - manually update your drivers.
Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.
This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:
This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded: run DriverView - set
SEE drivers to hide Microsoft - update those without drain in their names. (Also
updated the BIOS and drivers from the chipset on the site of the constructor/the system motherboard).-Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded
on your system. For each driver in the list, additional useful information is
Poster: load address of the driver, description, version, product name,.
company that created the driver and more.
http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.htmlFor drivers, visit Maker as replacements and system manufacturer of device which are
the most recent. Control Panel - write - graphics card - device manager
the brand and complete model of your video card - double click - tab of the driver-
Note the version information. Now click on UPdate Driver (this can do nothing
MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then do a right click - Uninstall - REBOOT
This will refresh the driver stack.Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard
If there are 3rd party with their own software and drivers and the other main device drivers
you have.Now, go to the site of the manufacturer of system (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) (restore)
and site (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get the manufacturer and device
their latest versions. (Look for the system to update the BIOS, Chipset and software updates
Site of the manufacturer here.)Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN -.
REBOOT after each installation.Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you are
installation actually appears. This is because that some rollback of drivers before the
later is installed (particularly that audio drivers) so install a driver - reboot.
Make sure that it is installed and repeat if necessary.Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW to the device makers DO NOT RUN THEIR
SCANNER - check manually by model.Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.
